Furthermore, the software must be easy to modify when the user’s needs change .” [Schach] � “Software engineering is concerned with theories, methods and tools for professional software development” [Sommerville] Lecture Notes 1 29 Best practices for Software Engineers � Software engineers should adopt a systematic and organised approach to their work and use appropriate tools and techniques depending on the problem to be solved, the development constraints and the resources available.
